BL> FTS-1 says of Control lines: "They end at the end of the
 BL> physical line" whatever that means. 

 PE> Control lines are terminated by CR or CRLF, ref FTS-1.

  He uses the term "physical line" but does not define what it means.

 BL> I assume that the message should end with #13#0, since most do,
 BL> but I've got a few messages that don't, and they hung my
 BL> PKT2QWK quite nicely until I added another check for the end
 BL> null.

 PE> They are out of spec. Sometimes you see a Ctrl-Z after the last
 PE> SEENBY too. That is not explicitly out of spec.

  The "spec" is brilliant in the way that it specifies so little.

 PE> Ctrl-Z and other crap is outlawed by SOT/EOT. So are soft-CRs.

  You outlawed 8DH? The Spanish will be upset.
